Mummy borrowed an “Auntie” trolley from Grandma for some CNY shopping. While wheeling it back to the car, I decided to hitch a quick ride! To prevent my little paws from being uncomfortable or getting caught in the metal grille, mummy thoughtfully placed my portable doggy bed on the base of the trolley. Presenting my new ride! ta da~ No surprises, Grandma wasn’t too pleased to see her grocery shopping trolley become my new ride. But who cares, lazy Sammy Loo is loving it!
My grandmummy (Paternal) bought me a new outfit for the lunar new year. Unfortunately, while all the adults are absolutely amused by how cute I look in the outfit, I certainly wasn’t very happy. I HATE wearing clothes. So, I was really pissy when mummy put it on. -_- Throwing dirty looks at mummy. Seeing how unpleased I was, mummy gave me a pep talk about the benefits of wearing the outfit – acting cute allows me to collect more ang baos containing $$! Really? *Beams* She demonstrated by giving me my very first ang bao for the season. Woohoo~ (Hee, but I decided to be cheeky nonetheless and thus stuck my tongue out.) Okay, a more serious look. After which, we went on to practice the new year greetings. Sam: “HAPPY NEW YEAR. GONG XI GONG XI.” Once we were set, we started doing our rounds (house hopping) to collect ang baos. We started with my paternal grandmummy’s place. DONE! Next, we headed to (maternal) grandma’s place. DONE! Mummy decided to let me off …
One of the perks of being back in Singapore is endless car rides! Wheee~ And to make things even better, I get to ride shotgun when mummy picks Daddy up after work! Acting all prim and proper. Hee, I’m wearing a bow tie as Daddy’s colleagues wanted to meet me! (Well, don’t I just look so smart in it?) Waiting for Daddy’s course to end. Anyway, (almost) everyone was mesmerized by me when they met me! Hee, how not to? Cos I’m SAMMY LOO! And I got so many hugs and kisses! Can’t wait till the next time mummy heads out to pick daddy up!
Well, my birthday celebration didn’t just end with lunch. Since it was my special special day, I was entitled to have a blast! Woohoo~ *Little wriggly dance* It continued with Mummy allowing me to roam the whole compound! I started by exploring the surroundings of the cafe.. (Kinda hoping to find some food crumbs but failed miserably. -_- ) After which, I ventured off to the grassy areas. Off I went~ Then I spotted something… A DOGGY POOL!! I was extremely obsessed with finding the entrance into the pool and could not stop running around the fence. Unfortunately, the pool was completely fenced up. Unlike the rest of the compound which is open (free) to the public, there’s an entry charge for the usage of the pool. I refused to give up! Oh oh , and a really Cute candid shot of me! Mummy was contemplating if she should let me swim. While I’m a really strong swimmer, she was worried that I might throw up after swimming due to the yummy lunch I just …
On 26th January 2013, me, little Sammy Loo Lim, turned 3. Due to the huge move back and Daddy being away, mummy’s initial plan of throwing a birthday party for me went down the drain. She decided to keep it simple by bringing me out for a birthday lunch. After some research, she chose the K9 cafe by K9 Kulture located at turf city. K9 Kulture occupies a pretty huge lot that is completely fenced in. Once we walked through the double gate, I was free to roam around the whole compound. Sigh, the joys of being off leashed~ Oh oh, and the cafe is fully air conditioned! Yes, dogs are allowed inside too! Wheeeeeeeee A furkids menu just for cute dogs like me. After some thought, I decided to try the beef meatballs! What’s a birthday without a birthday cake! Mummy asked me to choose my own cake and I chose the only ‘manly’ cake – the blue one. I got to act like an adult and even sat on the chair like the …
Remember the family photoshoot we had last july? While mummy was in love with how the photos turned out, she was a little disappointed that I looked bored in most of the shots. Hence, she decided that she would have a photoshoot of me. Yap, just me. After scouting for a while (on a pretty limited budget), she found a photographer friend who happened to be fundraising for her upcoming marathon for the shoot. Choosing the location for the photoshoot was easy breezy. Yap, no surprises, it was at Central Park! Not to mention that, Central Park in Autumn was an excellent setting too! It took a little while for me to get my paws on the photos but good things are definitely worth the wait. So, here goes… Lastly, my favorite shot of the session. Just sammy and mummy. Hee, mummy was totally unprepared to be in the shoot (thus she kinda looked like shit. shhh..). But still, i think the shot totally captured how much she adores me. PS, I love you too …
Thanks for waiting.. And guess what, I AM BACK! Apologies for the upcoming blogging diarrhea, but hope you will enjoy reading!
Sorry the lack of updates. (I blame it on mummy as her 1 year old Macbook Air had decided that it was time to retire forever.) Anyway, I’ve made it safely to mummy’s homeland, Sunny little red dot – Singapore! I’ve also survived A 6 hours flight to Amsterdam, followed by, a 10 hours layover and nope, I didn’t have no brownies, I swear. *Grinz*. And another 12 hours flight to Singapore. After which, a 10 days quarantine at Sembawang Animal Quarantine Station (but I had frequent visitors thanks to grandmummy and Uncle, and mummy’s friends). I’m also starting to adapt to the hot hot HOT weather in Singapore. Dang, I am a survivor, indeed. I’m not going to share much information about the pet transport company here as mummy was really disappointed with the amount of service she received for the amount of money that she paid for my ride. Well, let’s put it this way, my ride costs more than 2 round trip tickets from Singapore to NYC. (Yap, my parents are that insane.) …
One of the places that I’m going to miss a ton in NYC is my favorite daycare – Coco and Toto. I’ve been going to this daycare for a year (the previous place closed down!) and both my parents and I absolutely adore them. It was really bittersweet on my last day at daycare. Although I did received tons and tons of hugs, tummy rubs and kisses, I was also really sad to say goodbye. Mummy prepared a “Thank You” card and a cute Polaroid of me and gave it to the staff who had been awesome to me. Hee, they always tell mummy that I’m the best and most well-behaved Jack Russell they have ever seen. Ho ho ho. (Which mummy would reply in return that I am a fraud. Boo~) Coco and Toto is a cage less daycare and dogs who have sleepovers will remain in the common room with all the other dogs the whole time. Hence, I was never lonely during the three to four staycations I had with them. I …
